About Jill
Jill Holmes-Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. She welcomes conversations about parenting struggles, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, and issues related to intimacy, self-esteem, and career changes. Jill also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family friction, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties.
Jill prefers a straightforward and respectful approach. She starts by listening and building rapport before suggesting ways forward.
Background and approach
Sessions move at each person’s pace and focus on what feels most useful right now. Practical tools and calmer thinking are often part of the work. Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong emotions, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and solution-focused methods to set clear goals.
Jill blends these approaches to match the problem and the person she is supporting. She trained at the University of Connecticut and earned a master’s degree in 1998. Jill describes her style as compassionate and non-judgmental, with attention to cultural differences and individual backgrounds.
Her Connecticut practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance, practical strategies, and a focus on small changes that add up. The first session is aimed at understanding priorities and choosing a plan that fits with daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jill uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns so they can respond differently to stress, anxiety, anger, and mood shifts. Those tools often involve short exercises and practical homework that work well between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are also part of her work, offering emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for managing intense reactions and reducing impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill talks with each person about goals and tries different strategies to see what fits. She adapts methods based on what helps most and checks in regularly about progress and comfort with the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, brief chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, and text options support ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
